Summary

Rocky Point Middle School is a public middle school serving 634 students in grades 6-8 in the Rocky Point Union Free School District in Rocky Point, New York. While the school has some strengths, such as strong performance on Regents exams, it has consistently underperformed compared to state averages on New York State Assessments in English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels.

The school's academic performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between the top 24% and the bottom 13% in recent years. Additionally, the school struggles to serve certain student subgroups effectively, with rankings for female, male, Hispanic, white, special education, and economically disadvantaged students all in the bottom 25% of New York middle schools, and many in the bottom 15%. This raises concerns about equity and the school's ability to meet the needs of all its students.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Paul J Gelinas Junior High School and Mount Sinai Middle School, Rocky Point Middle School significantly underperforms on state assessments, with proficiency rates often 20-30 percentage points lower. These nearby schools also demonstrate more equitable outcomes across student subgroups. While Rocky Point Middle School has a relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, this investment does not seem to be translating into consistent academic success, raising questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and utilization.
